Hi,

I made some screenshots to show my problem with the indicators.
The first picture is on.jpg the secon is off.jpg

Position of the LED: 126,538,12,12
Position of mute Button: 424,534,115,50

My skin.ini:
I05,25,465,115,50,"REPEAT:b"
I06,424,534,93,50,"MASTERMUTE:b"
I02,124,536,16,16,"GPSVOL:b"

The Problem is, that the LED is always on, no matter if GPSVOL is deactivated in RR.config or no GPS signal.

Cant you refer to an empty skin like some of the older ones used ?

can you explain please what the exact function of the 2 settings in RR config is? one is for max %, which I imagine is the maximum change allowed to the user-specified volume, and the other setting is the % at 80kph, which I imagine is that every 80kph, it would add x% to the volume?

I think I should respond to that because these are the changes what I added
to skippys code as third different speed mode option.

At first if someone is really interested how this is working and why I like to add another different mode, it's good to read this page:
http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/show...=62351&page=13

But, shortly idea was:

- User can change volume normally with volume buttons at any time
- Only the gain which will compress noise coming from speed is changed.

Of course this gain is then added to master volume automatically, so what user can see and hear is that master volume is changing when speed change.

max step % is maximum value how much volume is changed per second in any situation. Setting this to small you can make changes to smoother, setting to 100 will ignore this funtionality totally. This value is now used for every mode and it's functionality is some for all of them.

Gain vol % at 50 mph is volume which is added to your current volume in 50 mph speed. Depending from this value, correct gain is calculated for your current speed [(speed / 50) * gainat50mph], so at 25 mph only half from this value is added as gain to master volume.

Here is also very simplifyed example:

max step % = 0.5%
Gain at 50mph = 7

User set volume to 10% at 0 mph speed

Speed change to 20 mph
-> Calculated new volume = 12.8 [10 + (20 / 50) * 7]
But because max step is 0.5, volume start to change only by 0.5% steps / second.
after 1 second volume is: 10.5
after 2 second volume is: 11
after 3 second volume is: 11.5
after 4 second volume is: 12
after 5 second volume is: 12.5
after 6 second volume is: 12.8

Hope this explain.

Hi,

I tested it with the original RR-BMV.skin. Same problem!
Is there a skin with GPSVOL intecrated?

RoyN · 11-28-2005, 12:37 PM

@upscale, I couldnt care less about iguidance, so it is just a FEW users who would benefit.... you should measure your comments cause if THAT MANY users saw this as a critical part, someone would have done more work...

I use freedrive and cdr (freedrive developer) is always adapting freedrive to work better with frontends, and frontend writers are adapting rontend to work best with FD....anyways, enough said out of the topic...

ti-ejtsch, what do you mean? GPSVOL is independent of the skin, it works on all skins afaik...

Ti-ejtsch · 11-28-2005, 01:03 PM

I mean the indicators to show, if GPSVOL is activated by pressing the mute button or not.

Mine is talking now – it started when I put a start night time in and now the only way to turn it off is to not use built in gamma – gps or other

Edit - you can turn it off by hitting the gamma button

Just added "PLAYLISTCOUNT" to my skin and it does not work with beta 11 – works with RR 11-27-05

RoyN · 11-28-2005, 02:42 PM

from my understanding, skippy was going to send the hanges he did, since guino hadnt released 11-27 sources...

i might be off though, sicne im a bit behind on my reading

RoyN · 11-28-2005, 02:53 PM

what same seller? I dont quite remember who i got it from, it was about 1.5yrs ago...

skippy76 · 11-28-2005, 03:05 PM

wow, ok... so there have been many changes to the source. This will be made available once we have released the changes that are in these BETAs.

Ok, regarding the indicators. Ti-ejtsch: Please can you email me a zip of your skin so that I can test with it. Others have already tested this and it worked...

Chuck: Regarding PLAYLISTCOUNT: I shall take a look.

Tim: ARe you changing the code at all or can I go ahead and make changes?

skippy76 · 11-28-2005, 07:07 PM

Ok, here's an update:

Chuck: Regarding PLAYLISTCOUNT, the code is in there and has not changed so I'm not sure at present why this is not working.

Tim: I'm going to be releasing a BETA 11b. I shall provide you with the updated code as I think there are some changes you wanted to make.

Everyone: I shall release BETA 11b shortly. There are two major bugs that I've fixed:

- If the Gamma offset is set to 0 a divide by zero error occurs. This is why some have reported that the Auto GAmma is not working!
- The second problem is that when you have a night skin configured and you are using Auto GAmma it should change to the night skin. However, this previously did not work (RR repeated 'ightski' to you... emmm)

Thanks,

Andrew
